    Author: Alonso-Navarro H, Rubio L, Jiménez-Jiménez FJ.

    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To report a patient with intractable hiccup which improved with gabapentin. CASE REPORT: A 69-year-old woman diagnosed with refractory hiccup that started 50 years before improved dramatically after a trial of gabapentin for essential tremor. Gabapentin withdrawal led to reappearance of hiccup, which improved again after its reintroduction. CONCLUSIONS: Gabapentin should be considered as a possible therapy for refractory hiccup.
